[QUOTE="JD8, post: 2080158, member: 24"] Has nothing to do with being a "snob," it's just that a "shooter" has a different meaning in my book or rather, a much higher standard. Say for instance seeing an Ed Brown after 20K+, all the way up to Eric Fuson's Wilson after 80K rounds. Personally, I'm losing accurate round count with my Les Baer but I'd say it's got at least 5-6K through it by my hands and it was bought used and it's barely broken in, as you STILL can't even come close to stripping it by hand. I actually agree for a good number of shooters they aren't going to make a bit of difference. In the same sense of the criticisms against custom owners leaving their guns in the safe, I've seen a ton of 1911 newbies call their entry level gun good after ~50-100 rounds. Like I said earlier the more experience someone has with the different tiers the more they realize what works and what doesn't and I'm talking about WAY more than 2K rounds through one 1911.
